Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1655956A2] In this kind of related-art camera apparatus, since a lens apparatus is located on substantially the same axis of a disc drive apparatus or it is located distant from the disc drive apparatus with a large distance in the lateral direction, the whole of the camera apparatus is large in size and therefore it is not possible to make the whole of the camera apparatus compact in size. A camera apparatus includes a disc compartment portion (47) in which a DVD-R (8) is accommodated so as to be loaded and unloaded, a disc rotating apparatus (36) provided within the disc compartment portion (47) and rotating the DVD-R (8) which can be detachably loaded thereon, a lens apparatus (5) for passing light from an object, a CCD (6) for forming an image from light passed through the lens apparatus (5) and outputting an image signal corresponding to the image, an optical pickup apparatus (37) capable of recording image information on the DVD-R (8) based on the image signal outputted from the CCD (6) and a radiation plate (57) provided within the disc compartment portion (47). The radiation plate (57) and the CCD (6) are constructed so as to transmit heat therebetween so that heat can be radiated from the CCD (6) through the radiation plate (57) to the disc compartment portion (47).
